I purchased 4mm backed lining paper (Red) from Amazon and stuck it with Wallrock thermal paste. It has made a difference to out outside walls (no cavity) of our victorian brick house. However, just a year later and I can see signs of black mold, but nowhere near as bas as it was. We run a...

Well in all this time it hasn't fallen into the right shape with an unsightly kink and ripples. The guy who fitted it has done many bathrooms and would surely know which way round it should go. I do wonder if it was correct originally .

The wall on the outside is very good with good mortar. What I now can't understand after putting the insulation wallpaper up is a very cold corner with actual water sitting just in the join. I have dehumidifiers and this isn't the chimney breast (possible salts etc) so why would it be attracting...

Ok, some good news at last! Apart from the technical issues, It looks nice.

We were asked which direction we wanted and astheaticalky we preferred it that way. It doesn't make any difference. At both ends the wood is free to expand (doorway and end that steps down into tiled utility area) It only goes under the units so far and not against walls. Again, correct...

I will have to check on that and get back to you. No idea why he over ordered by so much as he measured and worked it out. Again we trusted his judgment. We also have a lot of spare underlay, as well as lvt from the other job.

I appreciate your opinions but this pile on isn't helping. I am already pretty depressed about it and just want to make the best of it having already spent good money. I am not a floor specialist so wasn't to know. I can only trust someone who does a lot of work for clients (some big expensive...

A self employed builder/property repair. I don't want to go too much into the person as he in the main did a good job with other work he did for us but, as much as I appreciate the advise and knowledge, I think posting here is going to be under intense scrutiny whatever way it was done. I...

He said it makes no difference if only adding extra cushioning. I can't see what harm it would do. Besides it would be sitting on cold concrete if you took the lino away. There is Wood Fibre Laminate and Wood Flooring Underlay over he lino anyway.

This is the area we are talking about. The area it is springing is this corner. I am going to paint the skirting hence the filler showing. I also put the beading on so can't see beyond but looking to the right I can see it goes under the skirting so no idea why lifting.

The beading is definitely 100% wooden but it will have to come off when I adjust the skirting.

Yes it was something very similar, more green and I have a few sheets left over as I also do with a box and a half of the wood because he overbought.

You mean the rounded wooden beading that makes it look neat and hides the gaps?

I'll just adjust the skirting as advised but I have already put beading on some of it that I haven't photographed. And yes I glued it to the skirting and not the floor.

It states on the box Well I'm not on the floor looking sideways at it so you don't see it. The box states it's for Kitchens and living rooms. The fitter did just what you said and took some off the end plank when it warped last time. So on that basis why is it going again ? The other end of the...

Thanks all. I shall monitor it and perhaps adjust the skirting if it gets worse. So far can live with it.

)} A few days or so but not for that reason as the kitchen had to be finished first.

It's solid wood. I did the beading but don't remember much of a gap. Besides, he came back and adjusted last time and it evened out agan flat. Just can't understand why it it happening again. It can't endlessly keep expanding. At the other end it has caused the skirting board to ping away at the...

Well, I'm gutted because we only has this 100% hardwood Woodpecker floor laid in the kitchen (stated on the box for kitchens and living rooms) by our fitter in early Summer and already it has warped twice!. There is always a little movement here and there but this end got so bad a few weeks...

Yes it's an outside wall chimney breast. The dehumidifier does have a threshold control which is pretty good.
